Winners

"Zerg Overlord"
"Overlord and creep tumors helping to make a creep filled Halloween!"

"Deathwing"
"Deathwing a la Squash, based on the official concept art in the
Blizzard Art Gallery. I couldn't quite
find a pumpkin big enough for what I wanted to do, so I cut my losses and stacked one on top
of another so I could get some more details in there."

Amy Phillips Chicago, Illinois

"Night Elf Mohawk"
"This is the Night Elf Mohawk. This is also about 13 hours of carving. There is no paint on it or anything...all pumpkin. I probably spent another 20 hours designing it and staring at photos of Mr. T and the in-game armor. Anyway, it was a lot of fun to make. I even got to include a catch phrase and a pwning reference."
